The year 2025 has kickstarted one of the strongest IPO waves in India’s market history. From startups to large conglomerates, companies are lining up to raise capital via Initial Public Offerings (IPOs). With SEBI making IPO processes faster and digital applications simpler, retail participation is at an all-time high.
But here’s the catch – you cannot apply for or hold IPO shares without a DEMAT account. If you are serious about wealth creation through the upcoming IPO boom, now is the right time to get started.

Backed by favorable SEBI regulations, strong retail participation, and India’s status as the fastest-growing major economy, more companies are choosing to go public.In fact, experts estimate that IPO fundraising in 2025 could surpass all previous records, covering diverse sectors like fintech, renewable energy, digital commerce, and infrastructure.

Consumer stocks remained in demand by many investors. As per the retail sales figure data, it was reported that the retail sales surged by 9% in March, which is the highest percentage in 10 months.
It is said that for the first time unemployment benefits were at the lowest levels. Experiencing all the things above, we consider the top consumer stocks being the most active today.
Before getting deeper into the consumer stocks, let’s take it at a glance.
Consumer stocks are basically a sector of stocks that includes companies that produce consumer staples.
Nowadays, every individual depends on consumer staples. This includes all the products that we use on a day to day life such as food, beverages, cleaning products, personal hygiene.
As these goods are used in day to day lives, these are purchased irrespective of the economic condition of the country. Because they are considered as the essential items.
There are different forms of consumer stocks. One form of the consumer is discretionary stocks.
These include hotels, apparels, restaurants etc. While normal consumer stocks provide essentials that are connected with the daily activities of an individual, the latter do not provide essential goods.
Instead, they offer services for consumer’s requirements rather than what they want.
Investors are now paying attention to these stocks. If we take a look at the stock market, then the first quarter of the 2021 earnings season seems to be picking up speed. Stocks like HUL, ITC and Nestle have shown growth.
